We've had our Chicago Cutlery Block of knives for seemingly forever and we needed to upgrade our knives and have more of a variety of knives for more versatility. Even though I only know how to make omelettes but ahem, I do cut vegetables, avocado, chicken, and steak.
So Zwilling has been making knives since the 1700s, they're like the Porsche of German steel. We were immediately attracted to the 20 piece Pro which is made in Soligen, Germany. We wanted a natural block but they was outta stock (hey that rhymes), I'm about to bust it!! So we went with the darker block.
Ahem, the knives are incredibly sharp and the set looks very well made. I'm very pleased and thus far, I've cut avocado, broccoli and chicken breast, and hot dogs (from Omaha steaks - but that's a different review) using an assortment of knives - dang, be careful!!
Five (5) stars to David, he was exceptional in servicing us despite the number of people in the store, he answered a multitude of our questions like he was being paid by the question. The knives were delivered in a timely manner. I registered my purchase and will be receiving a free gift from Zwilling. Danke schein - David and Zwilling!! read more
